To increase awareness and compassion is my primary goal as an artist, a scientist, and as a person. My hope is that my images can inspire a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. I wish for others to see the world and life for what they are: a delicate balance that can easily be tipped and destroyed, a constant process of becoming, and a beautiful gift. If I can convey this understanding to others, if I can stop an individual, make them wonder, or feel at peace for a second then that will make all the difference.
